The WDC NanoLounge

This has been my best start so far! (though in 2009, I had a great start, then fizzled out, finishing on November 28, but hey, as long as I finish, right?) I hit 5k today! My Mom was having minor surgery, so I offered to take her, knowing I could use the time to write. The hospital offered free wifi, but my laptop was being temperamental, so I had no internet, which really helped motivate me! Before I knew it, two hours went by, my Mom was done surgery (everything went perfectly!), and I had written over 3k!

I have a couple "rules" I use to motivate myself to reach daily word count goals:

1. I'm not allowed to play Sims 3 (which I just bought last week) until I hit my daily goal.
2. I wear my flash drive around my neck until I hit my goal and save it on the drive (don't forget to back up your novel! Email it to yourself and/or save it on a flash drive!). I hate anything hanging around my neck, so it motivates me to get my writing done as soon as possible!

Keep yourself motivated and write write write!
